More than 145 million people have seen "The Phantom of the Opera" in over 41 countries — and the big news is that the Broadway production will close in February, after 35 years. The producer Cameron Mackintosh explains why (27 musicians in the pit is costly) and Michael Paulson tracks which, if any show, could top "Phantom" as the longest-running in Broadway history. |
No doubt we will have more to report as the final performance draws closer; in the meantime, tell me if you're one of those 145 million by sharing a nifty memory of seeing the show in New York or anywhere else in the world. (Halloween tales welcome, too, especially if you dressed as the chandelier!) Write to theaterfeedback@nytimes.com and if you include your full name and city, we may publish your response. |
